A panel discussion about the film "Earth Seed: A People's Journey of Radical Hospitality" is taking place in a darkened theater with a large screen displaying the film's title and credits. Five people, some wearing masks, sit on stage in front of the screen, while one person stands and speaks into a microphone.
